WHAT TO THE SLAVE IS THE FOURTH OF JULY?

English
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
5 0

The answer would be letter D. <em>The hideous and revolting conduct of the past and present</em>

Letter A makes no sense with the text.

C, although a somewhat possible conclusion, is not the message the author attempts to transmit.

B, although maybe the main argument to sustain the author's point, it's still not the main idea he aims to pass.

The author intent is to show what the Fourth of July looks like from the slaves' point-of-view. For that, he reminds people of the disparity between them (free white people) and slaves, of how the feelings of liberty and justice do not encompass all. And because of it, this day may be a celebration occasion to them, but to slaves, it's a 'mourning' occasion, with nothing to rejoice or be proud of. Finally, he concludes by stating "<em>Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting.</em>" - which is the answer to the question.

What does barbara kingsolver use of personification in "called out" allow the reader to do
Goshia [24]

Awnser: Even though kingsolver’s essay addresses scientific information, her use of dialogue introduces different viewpoints which allows the reader to connect more deeply to the information. Readers relate to the dialogue which gives them a sense of familiarity. She uses an anecdote, which incorporates ideas of god and religious ideas. It advances her purpose because it provides a sense of relation to religion, an apparent concept that many practice. today.

The section describes the excitement and energy participants exhibit during competition at the Cybathlon.

The section provides background information about the Cybathlon and the vision of its founder.

The section expresses that the Cybathlon is more of a research platform than a true competition.

The section implies that the Cybathlon is essentially a new and improved version of the Paralympics.

Answer: The section expresses that the Cybathlon is more of a research platform than a true competition

Explanation:

The author´s description of what Robert Riener, founder of Cybathlon, envisioned with this project makes it clear that it´s not really about the competition itself, but a way to promote the development of new engineering approaches aimed to, and also creating awareness about, the needs of people with physical disabilities.
